Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Someone asked about the pennants in Turner Field lacking the years. They now have the years noted.

I LEFT MY NOTES WITH KNIGHT....SORRY...HE'LL POST MORE DETAILS, ALONG WITH NEM/PARED/PASTAPADRE later.

Even Dolphin stadium looks great now. You won't believe how eye popping the stadiums are. The condos behind center field in Petco, whoa, have the proper depth of field feel.

I have 13 PMs so let me take a look at them.

There's an opening in the RF corner (wall) at Wrigley, that has a screen. I had to laugh because you could see cars driving by on the street. They have added a TON of presentation.

I grounded into four double plays when playing Knight. Everyone as smooth as silk.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Franchise PMs will be answered here by Knight (at the minimum). He dove into it and seemed really pleased with what he saw.

Pitchers FIELD!!! I took a screen capture of Kevin Gregg stabbing a ball up the middle....behind his back! There were several plays where the pitchers made really good plays on balls back up the middle.

this is music to my ears!

PM asked me to compare and rate 08 to 09. Let me tell you, it would be hard to go back to 08. The gameplay has been tweaked so much. The game just pops out at you with all the upgrades. I'm telling you it's absolutely solid. Nemesis, and I, when playing were looking at each other and just smiling when we played.

Bummer about Home Run Derby :-\ Hopefully batting practice mode will be a good stop-gap..

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

No generated pitch counts.

The mascots show up in the stands, for instance the Friar showed up on top of the dugout after an awful inning by the Padres. You don't see them on the field. It's situational.

Dodgerfanatic. Breath easy, I've always just swung the bat. The sliders work.

I saw two balls hit off the batters hands, breaking both bats. Both balls looked like wounded ducks barely making it over the infielders heads, one down the first base line, the other over second. There's a lot more hit variety and I saw at least one big Texas leaguer drop between two outfielders.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

Pitchers pitches are now listed in the editor as MPH, for example Fastball 89 MPH, but you still slide the slider to get to the speed you want.

Re: Community Preview Answer Discussion Thread.

I don't see players walking into dugouts, but I do see them walk out of them. For example, watching a pinch hitter walk up the stairs with his batting helmet in his hand, walks up the steps, puts his helmet on and walks onto the field. It seemed to me that there is a quicker transition when players come off the field as I don't remember seeing anyone just standing next to the dugout railing.

AWESOME. As far as attributes go this was one small thing that I was really hoping to see changed. Great news.
